Kernel1
Richard Stallman started
the GNU project in 1983
to create a free UNIXlike OS. He Founded
the Free Software
Foundation in 1985. In
1989 he wrote the first

1See
“Anatomy of the Linux kernel” by M. Tim Jones at http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-linux-kernel/
Linus Torvalds, as a
student, initially
conceived and
assembled the Linux
kernel in 1991. The
kernel was later relicensed under the GNU
General Public License
in 1992.
CIS 191 – Lesson 1
User Space
Components
• Shell (in /bin)
• Command interpreter and programming language (scripting)
• Commands and utilities (in /bin, /sbin, /usr)
• cat, ping, ls, fdisk, chmod, man, ifconfig, ... 100’s more
• X / Desktops (in /usr)
• X window managers, gnome, kde, etc.
• GNU C Library (in /lib)
• Math, string, input, output, logging, kernel system calls, etc.
• Applications (in /usr, /opt)
• Browsers, word processing, spreadsheets, software development, administration,
databases, web servers, etc.
Design
• Programs restricted to the privileges of the user running them
• Unlike Windows, the GUI does not run in the kernel
• Unlike Windows, multiple graphical desktops available
CIS 191 – Lesson 1
The Linux Kernel (in /boot)
Major Subsystems:
• System Call Interface
• mechanism for user space programs to request kernel services.
• Process Management
• handles fork, exec, exit, kill, signals, CPU scheduling, etc.
• Memory Management
• allocation, usage tracking, paging, etc.
• Virtual File System
• open, close, read, write, caching, etc.
• Architecture Dependent Kernel Code
• Drivers (dynamically loadable drivers are in /lib/modules)
Design
• Linux kernel is “monolithic”, not a “microkernel”
• Dynamic – can load and unload modules on the fly
• Over time has become efficient, stable and portable
CIS 191 – Lesson 1
UNIX/Linux User Interfaces
CLI – Command Line Interface
GUI - Graphical User Interface
TUI - Text User Interface (uses curses library)

Types of Installations
•
•
•
•
•
•
CD, DVD, or ISO image
Live CD/DVD
Attended vs. Unattended
Local vs. Network
Imaging software (Ghost, ImageCast)
Build from scratch
CIS 191 – Lesson 1
Three steps to an installation
1.
Prepare the storage device
Partition the disk
Format the filesystems
Select mount points for those filesystems
2.
Copy the selected packages
Package groups, packages, files
3. Write out the boot loader
MBR or boot sector (GRUB, LILO, SYSLinux)
Everything else is configuration
